Okay, so how is it September 2022??? Seems like I fell into a BL drama hole these past two months (feels MUCH longer!) and couldn’t get up. OMG, Jules! I hear you say. What is this awesome-sounding thing you’re into and why are you obsessed? Well, come closer, my bébés, and let me give you a crash course. Just like… Read more »

So I have just spent a few weeks watching The Untamed, then rewatching a few mid-season eps, then the last ep twice, then rewatching the first two eps again and now I have rewatched the WHOLE THING AGAIN. What is The Untamed, I hear you ask? It’s a Chinese Cultivation drama – a mix of historical/costume intrigue, set in a… Read more »
Bonjour, mes amis! So, an update on what’s been going on in my world. It’s been a weird start to 2021. I think I’m just burned out by doing so much last year – school, assignments, trying to write, worrying about the state of the world, to name a few. I was sucked into the black hole that was US… Read more »
Right, yes. Well. This is embarrassing. Want to know what’s kept me away from you all these *checks calendar, mutters* few-or-so weeks? *inserts gratuitous pic of Evan Williams as Philippe de Lorraine looking dreamy* WORK. OMG WORK. For reasons that shall be known only to myself and the government, I have been involved in a new venture so I won’t… Read more »

Enjoy xx Philippe de France, frère unique de roi I stand here, just like all the others, a mere observer to the glorious miracle that is our Sun King. Louis Dieudonné…. Read more »
So, waaaay back in 2013, I wrote a little Doctor Who/Horrible Histories fanfic for a friend’s birthday. While it wasn’t an amazingly fabulous piece of fiction that resulted in a big-name publisher throwing a million dollar contract at my feet, it is oddly prophetic, given the recent announcement of the new Doctor Who. So here it is, if you fancy… Read more »
So here we are. The finale of Season 2. I hope you’re sitting down because there is A LOT to unpack in this ep. So let us get right to it without further ado. We begin with Montespan in her rooms, in tears, topless and furiously scrubbing herself from a basin. It is clear she is frantic and upset, and… Read more »
I make stuff up for fun and (sometimes) profit. So it was quite a different world I dove into when my partner in crime Aurora von Goeth said we should write a biography on Louis XIV. Mucho scribbling immediately began, and now, many many months later, and with one hell of a learning curve behind us, we are proud to… Read more »
As I watch and live-tweet really really bad TV (the Village People’s Can’t Stop the Music) after the 12-minute spectacle of fireworks on Sydney Harbour, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year, and I hope you all stay safe, laugh lots and have joy in your lives. Keep striving for your dreams, however big or small they… Read more »
